Your personal data may be collected and used to help improve our good and services, or complete your order or request. Below are the main uses of your data which depend on the nature of our relationship with you and how you interact with our various services, websites and activities.
Marketing communications
Your privacy is important to us, so we’ll always keep your details secure. We’d like to use your details to keep in touch about things that may matter to you.
If you choose to hear from us we may send you information based on what is most relevant to you or things you’ve told us you like. We may also show you relevant content online. This might be about our good and services, membership, events, new projects and our shops.
We’ll only send these to you if you agree to receive them and we will never share your information with companies outside of Inspirations for inclusion in their marketing. (We may however share cookie data with third parties to help with our own advertising targeting). If you agree to receive marketing information from us you can change your mind at a later date.
However, if you tell us you don’t want to receive marketing communications, then you may not hear about events or other work we do that may be of interest to you. Personal data provided to us may also be profiled to help us with advertising targeting. For example, your membership data may be used to ensure we don’t serve you online membership advertisements. Or we may use your personal data to find online users with a similar profile to yourself who may be interested in our products or services.
How can I change my contact preferences?
We’d love to stay in touch, but we don’t want to out-stay our welcome. We’ll always act upon your choice of how you want to receive communications (for example, by email, post or phone).
However, there are some communications that we need to send. These are essential to fulfill our promises to you as a buyer of goods or services from Inspirations. Examples are: Transaction messaging, such as Direct Debit schedules, shop purchase confirmations.
Profiling
Our communications (e.g. emails) and services (e.g. our website) are relevant, personalised and interesting to you our services meet the needs of our customers and target audience we use our resources responsibly and keep our costs down.
To do this we’ll analyse how you interact with us (e.g. on our website and purchases of good and services) We use both geographic and demographic information to analyse our target audience.
We use specific tools to profile how you interact with us online, for example, Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics and Double Click for Advertisers. We use Google Analytics to collect information on the use of the Red Rocket website. Much of the information we collect is aggregated, however we may also collect some personal data for the use of personalising your experience, optimising our marketing campaigns, and to ensure the site is functioning as intended.
If you’ve agreed that we can contact you for marketing purposes, we may also gather additional information about you from external sources, for example: updates to address and contact information, or publicly available information regarding your wealth, earnings and employment at an aggregate level.
